As Thierry Henry turns 40, it's safe to say that Arsenal will probably never see another player like their record goal scorer. But will the English football?

Henry celebrates his landmark birthday on Thursday and his status as one of the Premier League's greatest ever players remains unchallenged -- especially in an era when most of the game's biggest stars are playing in other countries. In honour of the French striker's milestone, here's a look at five things that made him so unique.

Arsene Wenger is in favour of the transfer window closing before the start of the season.

If Arsenal's Premier League turnaround against Leicester City hinged on one moment, it might well have been an immaculate Aaron Ramsey first touch.

At that point, Leicester appeared to be heading for an unlikely 3-2 victory.

The midfielder's latest injury comeback was an outing with the club's Under-23s as he tries to regain match fitness following a fractured ankle -- a route he also took two seasons ago when returning from a more serious leg break.
